http://www.vibe.com/2013/11/jay-z-sued-over-run-this-town/#commentsSun, 10 Nov 2013 00:34:50 +0000http://www.vibevixen.com/?p=78272When Jay-Z collaborated with Kanye West and Rihanna for the 2009 single, “Run This Town,” it became a monster hit that soared up the charts. According to Radaronline.com, the rapper turned mogul is being sued by New York record label TufAmerica Inc. for using an unauthorized sample of a 1969 track called “Hook & Sling Part 1″ by Eddie Bo for the song. The label claims that the sample is used numerous times in “Run This Town” and they are requesting proceeds from the song. Further damages are to be determined at trial and a court order to cease “further distribution and exploitation” of ‘Hook & Sling Part 1.’ The suit goes after Roc-A-Fella Records, LLC and Atlantic Records in addition to Jay.

Hmmm, I wonder why the company waited four years to file this suit. Maybe they wanted the track to rack up as much money as possible so that they could get a huge payout if they win the case. Only time will tell what happens, but lets hope this mess can be solved peacefully. If this turns out to be true I need Jay to have better people doing research into the origin of the beats used for his tracks.

Kendrick Lamar has teamed up with Jhené Aiko for her new single “Stay Ready (What a Life).” The 90 second snippet gives you a taste of the types of smooth, sultry songs you can hear on her EP “Sail Out.” Take a listen and let us know what you think:

Moore did a recent interview where she said she didn’t like how the fan perceived her last season and is hoping that she will have more supporters and less critics this time around.

“I think that this season you’ll get to see more sides of me,” she told Access Hollywood. “I think you’ll get to know me a little bit better and hopefully like me a little bit more.”

“I’m actually really nice to people and then they want to pick a fight with me, but when they pick a fight with me, they’ll never win. I always win fights,” she added. “In a situation, if I feel I’m right, I’m going to say it. If I think you’re wrong, I’m going to say it.”

The sixth season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta premieres tonight at 8pm on Bravo. Do you think she can make the switch from all drama to positivity?
